What it does
Exa MCP exposes Exa's embeddings-based (neural) search plus full-page content extraction and an async multi-step research agent, returning clean, ready-to-use page text instead of raw SERP links — for grounded, citation-quality web results. Search/fetch tools are deterministic API calls; the agent tools wrap Exa's LLM-driven research agent.
Example prompts
- Find recent, citation-quality sources on retrieval-augmented generation.
- Research the competitive landscape for MCP gateways and summarize with sources.
Tools provided
- web_search_exa — Run a neural web search.
- web_fetch_exa — Fetch and clean a page.
- agent_create_run — Start Exa's research agent.
- agent_get_run_output — Read research-agent output.
What you'll need to connect
This agent will ask you for the following. You enter them when you connect — they're encrypted and never shared with the creator.
- Exa API KeyGet a key at exa.ai (passed as a query param on the hosted endpoint).Get this from mcp.exa.ai's account or API settings.Paste the value as a single line.Only sent to: mcp.exa.ai, api.exa.ai
How you're protected
FindAgent runs these safety checks on every agent automatically. They're always on and can't be turned off.
- Prompt-injection scanning
Every request is checked for known prompt-injection and jailbreak attempts before the agent runs. This is always on.
- Secret-leak scanning
Every response is scanned for leaked API keys, tokens, and other secrets before it reaches you. This is always on.
